I wouldn't personally buy either, Mountfield are domestic machines Hayter motif ok but it only has a single height adjuster when your trying to cut low the front catches the ground and a scalps the ground (not the blades the actual front of the mower).

If you don't want to go down the pro route I would look at the Honda Izy leaves a lovely cut.

Realy need to buy a new mower but im lost about which to get. Ive looked at the honda izy would someone tell if thats the best mower i could get for £350 or recommend another any advice would be a big help. Only do small lawns so not after a massive machine.

There are lots of different mowers available. Why not go to your local showroom and have a look. Near us we have at least 3 commercial firms that offer a whole range. Other than that look on ebay for a SHand unit.

I have used the 18 inch self propelled honda izy for years and it is a great mower, a nice cut and has never let me down, perfect for small to medium lawns. The honda engine is great. I prefer the older version though, the automatic choke on the newer one is crap!

Hi

 

So what is up with the auto choke? My newish new to me Izy seems to work just fine, except: A handful of grass falls out the grass bag onto the lawn when you unhook the bag and occasionally wheel spin on wet ants nests (happened today). I miss having the roller on the rear though.

 

My really old smaller Honda with manual choke, manual throttle, manual push and plastic roller on the rear still does a good job. I can get it through a terraced house to the back as well.
